Patel gains valuable experience
New Zealand spinner Jeetan Patel says a session with former Australia spinner Ashley Mallett was invaluable.
Mallett, 68, played 38 Tests for Australia and offered to work with the BlackCaps number two spinner after Patel was named 12th man on the first morning of the second Test against Australia in Adelaide.
Patel, who has played five Tests since making his debut against South Africa in Cape Town in 2006, worked with former Australia spinner Bruce Yardley in Bangladesh last month and has also had the benefit from having outgoing New Zealand coach John Bracewell and Kiwi captain Dan Vettori to call upon for advice.
